Scott that is not a vulnerability. Its called active scripting. If you turn
it off then www.cnn.com won't load properly either. Its a common integration
feature. If you want to disable it properly IE security should have been
set-up properly to begin with. Change your internet zone security to HIGH
and that page won't load jack other than fire off antivirus warning.

TECH BRIEFING


Want To See Something Scary?

I thought you might be interested in trying this and then see your hair
stand out. When I tried it just now (Wednesday Feb 27, 11am) it still
worked. It's real too, yikes. This web page opens up a DOS box on your
computer. Someone really interested in destruction would be able to wreak
havoc on everyone visiting them. Or, cracked sites might be equipped with
this doozy on their home page and all their visitors just beheaded. I'm not
sure how you could protect your users against this kind of attack.
Suggestions anyone?
